Organization

Ask any one that knows me, I am very disorganized. I have recently been tinkering with a couple of mind mapping programs; Free Mind and Personal Brain. Free Mind is relatively simple to use and has pretty much everything I need ( I think). Personal Brain is a quite bit flashier and has more feature and a sort of 3D feel to it. Free Mind is Free and there is a free version of Personal Brain. well, back to work.

Yeah! First Post

I don't know that I have all that much to say in general, though I am very opinionated at times (probably most fo the time). I am currently working on a couple of things that were started some time ago and set aside for various reasons. I feel now is the time to work toward getting them completed. I have a couple of stories that I began over 10 years ago and a couple more recent ideas that I am putting together.
I have never utilized an outline before. I wasn't able to keep track of all the ideas I had, much less organize them in any way. Not that I was incapable of doing it I simply chose not to do it. I found a program called "FREE MIND," it is a freeware program and has helped a lot with outlining not only scenes but helping me to easily organize characters and ideas scenes. . I am not sure but what I could write the entire manuscript in free mind and then copy & paste it into ms word.
